Thanks for sharing! Have you considered selling your Apps outside the AppStore? Would it be worth it?

Lunar, my best selling app, is outside the App Store. But I had to do 2 to 4 months more work to replicate what App Store is doing. See my more detailed comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33621601

How do you do marketing?

I built this www.anxispace.com .. and I literally cannot do marketing to save my life!

Sharing the link on the appropriate platforms is my best working version of marketing. Word of mouth takes over after this. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33621814

I tried paid ads on all major platforms, but unless you have money to sink in, you’ll mostly just lose money and annoy a few people.
